Yogthos<p>Chinese scientists have developed a new method for recycling lithium-ion batteries using amino acids and micro batteries with reduced environmental risks.</p><p>The process involves using glycine as a binding agent and neutral pH level solution, which also results in a fertilizer byproduct. This method extracts 99.99% of lithium, 96.8% of nickel, 92.35% of cobalt, and 90.59% of manganese in just 15 minutes.</p><p><a href="https://interestingengineering.com/energy/amino-acids-for-battery-lithium-extraction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">interestingengineering.com/ene</span><span class="invisible">rgy/amino-acids-for-battery-lithium-extraction</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/china" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>china</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recycling</span></a></p>
